5 Universities That Will Take You in Without JAMB UTME
Every year, thousands of young Nigerians are forced to put their dreams on hold.
Maybe you’re one of them. Maybe you couldn’t write the JAMB UTME. Or you wrote it and passed, but didn’t meet the cut-off mark. A few have even written it more than once, passed each time, and yet—for reasons that are hard to explain—never got admission.

If you’ve been caught in this cycle of waiting, rejection, or delay, you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not out of options.
There’s a faster, more credible, and more reliable path to the future you want, where your dreams don’t have to wait.
Thankfully, there are some universities in Nigeria licensed by the National Universities Commission (NUC) that offer admission without requiring JAMB UTME.
Here are five such universities you can apply to.
5 Universities That Don’t Require JAMB UTME
1. Miva Open University
Miva Open University is a private online university where you don’t need JAMB UTME to get in; just a minimum of five O’Level credits, including English and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
Courses are delivered online, so students can learn from anywhere at a time they choose. This makes it easier to work, intern, or take on other responsibilities while studying.
You won’t just start and graduate on time; you’ll do so with a flexible and affordable payment plan. For as low as ₦150,000 per semester, you can earn a degree that equips you with practical skills for real-world jobs in tech, business, management, and more.
2. National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN)
NOUN is Nigeria’s first open and distance learning institution. While NOUN typically does not require JAMB, applicants must still meet O’Level requirements and apply through their online portal.
NOUN offers flexibility through self-paced learning and caters to people who want to earn a degree while working or managing other responsibilities.
3. Iconic Open University, Sokoto
Iconic Open University is a recently licensed private institution in Nigeria offering flexible, student-centred learning. The university operates an open learning model designed to give students more control over their pace and location of study.
Applicants are not required to write JAMB UTME, but they must present valid O’Level results and other necessary documents as part of the admission process. This makes Iconic a suitable option for students looking for a non-traditional route into higher education.
4. West Midlands Open University, Ibadan
West Midlands Open University is another approved open university in Nigeria. It accepts students without JAMB UTME and focuses on providing quality education online.
Applicants must present valid O’Level results and complete the school’s internal admission process.
5. Al-Muhibbah Open University, Abuja
Licensed by the NUC in 2023, Al-Muhibbah Open University also offers admission without JAMB UTME. The institution provides open and distance learning for a wide range of courses. Like the others, candidates must meet O’Level requirements and apply through the school’s portal.

What About JUPEB and IJMB?
You might have heard of alternatives like JUPEB or IJMB, which allow students to gain admission into 200 level in some universities without JAMB UTME. While these are valid options, they come with a few important considerations:
● They cost significantly more than applying directly to universities like Miva or NOUN.
● They typically require 9 to 12 months of study before university admission.
● Having a JUPEB or IJMB certificate doesn’t guarantee automatic admission. It still depends on your final scores and whether the university chooses to accept them.
Secure Your Future Without JAMB UTME
You’ve waited long enough. You don’t have to keep waiting. These universities give you the chance to:
● Start now
● Learn at your own pace
● Graduate on time
● Step into your career with confidence
Whether it’s your first attempt or your fourth, your dream of going to university is still valid and possible.
Apply to any of these universities of your choice and get started with just your O’Level results.
You can move forward, start your degree, and build the future you’ve always wanted
No JAMB UTME needed. No unnecessary delay. Just your determination and grit.
